Bài mẫu IELTS Speaking part 2 chủ đề Describe a famous person
1. Bài mẫu về: Kim Nam Joon – BTS – Describe a famous person
Bài mẫu
The celebrity whom I admire the most is Kim Nam Joon, or RM, a member of the Korean boy band BTS. Besides being the leader of the group, he is also a talented male rapper, songwriter, and music producer.
When I first knew about him three years ago, I was captivated by his appearance, with short black hair and a tall, slim frame that represents both elegance and sportiness. RM can pull off almost any clothing style, from a charming, lovely boy to an attractive gentleman.
In addition to his handsome look and leadership skills, he possesses a high IQ of 151 and was previously classified in the top one percent in his high school examination. He taught himself how to speak fluent English, and successfully attained a TOEIC score of 900 as a result of his unrelenting effort in many years.
Among the nine members of BTS, RM leaves the strongest impression on me because of his diligence and passion for music, as he consistently introduces creative ideas to his performances on stage. His innovative concepts have always left fans in awe. His remarkable musical intelligence is another thing that blows my mind. As an extremely rhythmically sensitive person, he can listen to music and dance to each and every beat.
But all in all, I think what I love the most about RM is that he always shows concern for other people. His ability to steer the band away from controversy, mediating ugly fights is a true sign of emotional intelligence. It’s no wonder that the rest of his members practically worship him and express their admiration for how he has led them to success. If possible, I’d definitely like to have a coffee date with him, so I could express my feelings for my biggest celebrity crush.

2. Bài mẫu về: Komuro Mako – Japanese princess – Describe a famous person
Sample
I’m going to talk about Komuro Mako, who was a princess in Japan until recently. She had to give up her royal title to marry her long-time boyfriend, who is a commoner. I didn’t really know about Japan’s marital practices. However, from what I’ve read, when a Japanese woman marries, she must change her last name to that of her husband. Since her husband is just a regular citizen, she also becomes one. The wedding has attracted so much drama and the couple must have been under much pressure.
A little bit more on Mako, I just got to know her from what the press has written about as well as the videos I’ve seen on social media. To me, she looks like what I expect from a princess. She’s always well-dressed in an elegant way and not too showy. Her demeanour is calm and when she answers the press, her gesture is polite and composed. She seems to be highly educated, in fact, her husband is her college sweetheart, whom she referred to as “irreplaceable” in an interview.
The reason why I’m interested in her is that her story seems like a modern-day fairy tale. She and her husband have endured so much just to be together. It’s very brave of her to follow her heart. That’s something that the rest of us can learn from. I wish her all the best with her new life.
